we are a five piece, all original band. here is the low down, Mike plays guitar(lead n rhythm ), Clinton also plays guitar(lead n rhythm ) both play Gibson brand guitars mostly cuz they look rad holdin them, Kyle plays the bass and keeps a sweet groove on, Bart bangs the drums(mind you on a tiny kit, but huge-mongous sound) and Rj well he just sings or whatever you may call it, plus sides as a roadie......
Influences
hmmmm, well everything rocky and rolly, punky and metally. and, aimee mann.

SUPRAWSUM(c)2008 goodbars english made up words...well you now have a taste of our music up here. YOU tell us how we sound, how bout that for a deal!!!!!
ronnie james dio said this of the goodbars " the goodbars are the closest thing to the black sabbath experience in decades, hail goodbars!!!"****
from the mouth of prince came " i used to be the biggest thing minneapolis had to offer, i was wrong. the goodbars are now the biggest thing minnesota has to offer. if you dont believe me then you must go purify yourselves in the waters of lake minnetonka. bitches!"****
one local band (they asked to remain anonymous) said of the goodbars "we really thought we were the shit with the hit "runaway train" when we wrote it. we peaked with our writing ability. man, i now realize that compared to the goodbars writing style, its like being stuck in kindergarten and they are seniors over at the high school, the ones in detention. we have a long way to go!"****
we dont really fit into punk, hard rock or metal genres. it is really hard to describe our music to a "t". One friend called it "drive-rock", we'll take it!!! We embody the type of music you put in on a road trip and just head out somewhere, forgetting where you are going and why. Catchy tunes, easily sing-alongable (that's right, a made up word). We are here to put the "All" back into bAlls that music and musicianship has been lacking.
Previous bands include but are not limited to, The Nixon Pupils, The Squabs, Mile One, Flesh Cafe, The Straight Six, The Coup De Grace, The Pushrods and Factory Black
**** oh yeah and fyi, our calls to these peeps are still unanswered and these quotes are unsubstantiated as of yet but would likely be truthful.. fear IS a stinky perfume you cowards

I just wanted to stop by to say hello and give you a little update on what Blood Root Mother is up to! We will be recording an EP of new music in August, and we recently finished recording a live DVD. The DVD is currently unreleased and I actually just saw it for the first time a few days ago. It features the last two performances with Tony Ellis still alive, and some footage from the tribute show we played on the night of his funeral.
There are some cool covers, as well as some NEW music that will be on our upcoming EP. We're very excited about the new music and we'd like to share a sneak peak with you. Here's a video of a new tune called Run Bobby Run:
Blood Root Mother will be playing at Trocaderos in Minneapolis on Friday, June 26th. I cannot stress enough how awesome this show will be!! We're playing with three of the sweetest local rock bands: Claret, Niobium and Casanatra. If you haven't heard these guys, check them out immediately! Please come to this show!!
I recommend stopping by during happy hour for two for one drinks along with free buffet, which is delicious. We'll be hanging out at Trocs all night, so come by and chill/party with us :)
Again, here's the event info:
Friday, June 26th Trocaderos 107 3rd Ave N Minneapolis, MN 18+ // $6 // 8pm
Please come out and support some great local music!! Music starts at 9:30pm, we should go on around midnight. Invite your friends, pile into a car (or a party bus), and together we will make this one of the highlights of the summer :)
